Welcome back! This episode we discuss school/life balance, and how we are still reminding ourselves that school and work are not our lives. But how do we find this balance? Listen for tips and vulnerable discussion, and don’t forget to let us know @changebyd3grees on twitter and Instagram how you like to balance your school and work with the rest of your life!

Talking points mentioned:
